Topic: Samsung tv hook up problems with SNES

I have a Samsung ue40d6530 television and I am struggling getting it to come up on the screen. The console is working as I have tried and tested it on an old tv. I have it hooked up via the aerial switch box but it aint coming up. Is there something in my settings I am missing or do I need a diff cable ?

LCD TV's often have trouble picking up the video signal from older consoles. My Sony has the same problem and the only "fix" is to power-cycle the console until the TV does recognize the signal.

@JHudson Perhaps your TV has it's antenna set to DTV instead of the (now outdated in NA) standard broadcast settings.

Cheers guys. My antenna appears to only have a "air" or "cable" setting. Power cycle as in leaving it on to eventually find itself ?

Might buying an Av cable solve the problem ?

My SNES works on my Samsung Plasma using these:

As I thought......cheers Ryno. I will purchase a set and hope for the best

Hope it works out for you JHudson, the SNES is the best console ever and it would be a travesty if you were unable to play it.

This is why I have an older TV for my retro consoles.

Older crt tv's are essential for retro gaming. Even if you manage to get your snes working, it's likely that games are going to look terrible.

I've tried many LCD/plasmas with my snes over the years...it never looks good.

The LG mark is the best!

Undeniably, this is the ultimate screen for retro gaming:
